rur ~DI,rArcu" AGAIN.

We have had occasion more than once
to remark that the Dsp1tH is a close
reader of The TIMES. and wc now say
further that The DapftA shows DOS wis

case may Dee. has come thereby To- know
enough of Constitutional law 20 let t
severely alone. which is much better for
the Chief Justice and not at all worse for
constitutional law Yesterday be made
a sidewise sort of crab-gait onslaught
ON what we have recently been saying
concerning the money we annually spend
upon education. without mentioning the
fact that he was attempting reply TO
the TIMES. which fact fails, however 10
prevent the TIMES from keeping its
differing weathereye upon him.
The Chief Justice viii treat our arti-
cles as attacks upon the public school
system. But we must call his most
learned attention TO the fact that the
TIMES has never once advocated a reduc-
lion of the amounts spent upon educs-
ton. il has only shown that the State
spends each year upon education $780,
600: and it has asked if State that is
rich enough to DO that is too Door 90 pay
$500 900 per mnum TO her creditors.
The TIMES has IL, own opinions concern
inc public free schools; but whether
those opinions are favorable or unfayora-
bic to them. 10 has at no time stated. AID
that weask consideration of is the question
whether "a State that is rich enough to
spend 81 100000 per annum upon educa-
lion is too poor 10 pay IT'S creditors a re-
sonable part of what il owes them. We
invite the attention OF the Chief Justice
TO this question as we have heretofore
invited the wings attention TO the same
question and, let us say that the Wig
surrenders its first ground that the pur-
chase of a piano stands upon the same
footing as the payment Of a debt, and
plants itself firmly upon the proposition
that education paid for by the State is an
absolute necessity to pay for, while the
State should refuse to pay her just debts,
if She can pay for it in no other way
That being so, all place for argument be
tween ourselves and the Wig is gone

WILD DAYS IN CALIFORNIA.

tributed among the rough element 10 influence
the election for mayor Murder rio' ana
arson were common. A few days before the
election | was sitting IN one OF the leading
hotels Of San Francisco. DR.. Randall,
popular physician. entered and went 10 the
counter. As he stood there an English money
lender. named Hetherngton, d perate Tel
low. entered and. without q word, stepped
directly up 20 the doctor and drove long
knife almost To- the hilt into his left breast.
II was instant death, and one OF the most
cold blo0ded murders ever committed IN tho
CITY. Hetherington was arrested promptly,
and that night be was hanged by the vigilance
committee ON the open street 10 seemed that
the doctor owed Hetherington some money
and had refused on delayed payment Hether-
ington was worth over 100000, and had
murdered another doctor some time before.
He got free by paying 5000.
But this example was not sufficient 20 put
stop 90 the llwl.s,ness and che committee
decided that something more decisive must be
done Jack Hayes was the sheriff then. he

TUE LAND GRABBERs.

!, the case of the Guilford Miller farm
the President has taken firm stand
against the giant steals Of public lands
NV railroad corporations. The Northern
Pacific Railroad Company had a grant OF
3 belt Of land forty miles wide from Lake
Superior to the Pacific and an indemnity
grant Of twenty miles wide besides this
70 cover the chances of not getting all
the first one on account Of possible
entries
The result was that in 1881 there had
been Withdrawn about ljO,OOOOOO acres
of land within indemnity limits, in addi-
ton to nearly 2OO,OOO,OOO acres with
drawn within the limits of specified
grants. That is to say, settlers were eX-
cluded from The indemnity belts until the
companies should complete their roads
and make good in those belts the losses
suffered i'm the grants. For these indem-
nifty Withdrawals there was. as we have
said, no statutory authority, Dul lhe ue-
partment chose to establish the practice
in response TO the companys requests.
1t was practices like this that led the
Hon. Elihu b. Washburne TO declare "a
year or two ago that the Land Office had
for fifteen OF twenty years been the
most corrupt department that ever eX-
listed in any Government on the face of
the earth
The President directs the Secretary OF
the Interior to look carefully into AN this
business and see that settlers shall not De
evicted by railroad company merely
upon vague pleas that the original grant
was not obtained i'm full and therefore
the indemnity belt must gc given also.
